This verse suggests that there is nothing new under the sun, contradicting the notion of unique building or repair efforts described in Nehemiah 3:7.

Luke 14:28: For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]?
Contradiction with Mark 6:3
References Jesus as a carpenter, which may contrast with the priests and rulers as builders in Nehemiah 3:7, challenging roles typically associated with construction.
Mark 6:3: Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. [offended: scandalized in, or, by him]
Contradiction with Proverbs 16:9

Proverbs 16:9: A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 29:11
This implies divine plans and prosperity, which may contrast with the human efforts and struggles in the rebuilding efforts described in Nehemiah 3:7.
Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [expected...: Heb. end and expectation]
